{"product_id":"diperna-paula-pricing-the-priceless-9781119913801","title":"Pricing the Priceless","description":"Praise for PRICING THE PRICELESS \"This is a deep meditation on the state of the biosphere and the role humankind has played in bringing it to where it is today. What makes the book remarkable is that it is informed by an extraordinary, exploratory life. DiPerna's personal experiences have moved her to initiate and engage in remarkable endeavors to create institutions that encourage us to conserve Nature. This is a deeply moving piece of work.\" -SIR PARTHA DASGUPTA, Frank Ramsey Professor Emeritus of Economics, Cambridge University, and author of The Economics of Biodiversity: The Dasgupta Review \"DiPerna explores with lyricism the paradox of pricing the environment. As each year of feeble climate action adds to decades of drift, we're now sensing the reality of thresholds which money cannot smooth away. As she makes vividly clear, there is much to gain if we can reorganize our economies, redesign systems, and refit our landscapes in time, to build a fairer, more sustainable way of life for all.\" -CAMILLA TOULMIN, Senior Associate and former Director, International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED); Fellow, Institute for New Economic Thinking \"Everybody knows that if a valuable resource is 'free,' it will be overused and eventually depleted. But, with hard-to-pin-down resources such as air, wildlife, and the beauty of nature, it's challenging to design markets that conserve and allocate them efficiently. In Pricing the Priceless, DiPerna describes how she and her Chicago Climate Exchange colleagues have taken a big step in that direction, to the lasting benefit of all.\" -LAURENCE B. SIEGEL, Director of Research, CFA Institute Research Foundation and author of Fewer, Richer, Greener: Prospects for Humanity in an Age of Abundance \"DiPerna has the soul of an explorer and the mind of an environmentalist, educating the reader about the role of emissions trading in combating climate change. It is all about pricing and she nails it. At every stop in her worldwide journey, we learn about the real-world convergence of finance and the environment. It is a great read for the public who wants to understand the role of markets in fostering social goals and addressing an existential issue.\" -DR. RICHARD L.
